The noun panhandle has 2 meanings:

Meaning #1: a relatively narrow strip of land projecting from some larger area.
panhandle

This is about the topographical term; when used as a verb, panhandle means to approach strangers and beg for money.

A panhandle is a geographic term for a long and usually thin projection of a U.S. state. The term derives from the analogous part of a cooking pan.

Panhandles in the United States include:

* Alaska Panhandle
* Eastern Panhandle and Northern Panhandle in West Virginia
* Florida Panhandle
* Idaho Panhandle
* Maryland Panhandle
* Nebraska Panhandle
* Oklahoma Panhandle
* Texas Panhandle

There is also The Panhandle in San Francisco, California

The panhandle shape is usually the result of politically-established boundaries, though it may partly be influenced by geographic features such as mountain ranges. A panhandle is topographically similar to a peninsula, though it is never surrounded on three sides by water.

Panhandles elsewhere:

* New Brunswick Panhandle

Compare

* Bootheel of Missouri and New Mexico

neutral  Henry Hinds: Not in this context. But in addition, in Mexico a "pepenador" is a trash picker or scavenger, not a panhandler. In fact today we might call him a "micro-recycler".
